Rangers outfield Josh Hamilton made club history when he socked four home runs against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. Hamilton also tied a major league record, becoming just the 16th player ever to go yard four times in a single game. Here's a look at the company he keeps.

Columnist Tim Cowlishaw answered your questions in a live chat Thursday. Here are some highlights.

Comment From miketexlhorns1... Do the Rangers have the depth in the starting rotation & the bull pen to get that elusive world series title?

Cowlishaw: I think you have to look at why the World Series has eluded them. They have had the team to get there but not finish the job. They have played very poorly when it comes to National League baseball -- 1-5 in San Fran and St. Louis. They are good enough to get there again, for sure. The Tigers aren't playing the way I thought they would, and the Yankees' loss of Rivera is huge. So they have the stuff to get there. Just have to play better in those N. L. parks, get a little more from their bullpen, bench, etc., and I think their bullpen is one of the best.

Comment From SAMMY...Greetings Tim....What is your best guess on Hamilton's contract after his recent accomplishments?

Cowlishaw: Hamilton will be 31 in a couple of weeks. The drawbacks to a long-term deal are obvious and have been discussed at length. His greatness as a player when healthy is unquestioned. I think he gets at least 6 years and 140-150 million. I can't imagine him signing for less unless he has some sort of injury problems between now and then. What numbers do you think are reasonable?
